Production
- Bill has given updated drawings with our requirements for the off-site space to Ron Lauze. Ron will work on the infrastructure of that building.
- Bill has reviewed the production planing document linked above. There were several questions regarding the testing of the FDC layers and packages with cosmics. What we want to do will depend on the available time. For now we assume one day-night for testing per layer. We will come to this again after creating the production flowchart (Bill will take care about the latter). Fernando explained us the procedures related the the PCB inspections/tests. We need to set-up a place for testing, preferably in 117, and have one person trained for that. Bill mentioned that (from mechanical point of view) the most important is the quality of the PCB edges.
Electronics
- Fernando and Gerard informed us about the last week fADC125 tests. The module was installed in the VXS crate in 126 and connected to three FDC cards (top, bottom cathode and an anode). The tests were done using Gerard's code to configure the module and read the data into a file. Beni wrote a code to read the file from root. The DAQ group will work on incorporating the fADC125 into CODA system. For the beginning, they promised us (within two weeks) to write a simple interface to the module so that Beni can include it in the cosmics set-up. We discussed the heating issues with the modules in the VXS crate.
